Chicago and Dreamgirls weren't *that* long ago

- I mean, has it left since everyone was saying "It's back!" 5 years ago. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:51
- I'm also not so sure about how much good it says that the one they're using to prove it's back is one based on pop songs - Reagen Feb 23, 07:51 3

    - sure - but I'm just saying I'll believe "they're back" when an original idea is a hit. - Reagen Feb 23, 08:00
  - I must say, I am very much looking forward to Nine this year -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:52
I think it's more that they became a trickle in the 1970s, and have only come back in the last ten years or so -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:36
Yeah, it did seem a tad odd to have a montage of musical returns...when musicals were serious contenders twice already in this decade. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:36 7
- I heard you yell something and groan upstairs - it was then I figured out that you still had the Oscars on. :) - kelly Feb 23, 07:43
- as I said last night, it would have been better with shakira. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:39
- I'm with you on Beyonce, dude. There are so many women out there who can sing...why she keeps getting the prime gigs like this is amazing. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:37
- why not Beyonce? she's got the chops. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:36 3
  - She's quite possibly the most over-exposed celebrity out there. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:43
  - they weren't on display last night. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:37 1
    - I had bigger problems with that number than her being in it, for sure. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:43
